First year hiring in legal industry is down — but hours worked are up, says Kurt Chauvier, Blackstone. More senior roles haven’t shown softening, yet. cbcny.org/events/how-ai-will…

Government can play a role in ai literacy, safety, and access, says Virginia Maloney, City Council Member. how are we preparing city infrastructure, water grid, etc? How to prepare the classroom? fed regulation better to avoid patchwork legislation, but “City is stepping up.”

How do you help people who do the work move to managing the work in an AI enabled workplace? Look to DMVs, where staff has been able to engage with clients freed up from busywork, says Hrishika Vuppala, McKinsey. Getting workers onboard is about long term change management, says Eleanor Fournier-Tombs, Chief AI officer, NYS.

Where can AI be most effective for governments? Hrishika Vuppala, McKinsey, calls for a “Goldilocks” size approach. Big enough to be felt, small enough to get stood up in 6 mos. If it’s just tech and not workflow changes, it won’t land. cbcny.org/events/how-ai-will…

Henry Garrido, DC37, says the very fact of government makes AI very difficult to apply— procurement silos keep agencies from sharing information and tools, creating a patchwork of approaches.

Vote NO on Ballot Prop 5, argues @andrewsrein in a @NYDailyNews op-ed today. CBC was the staunchest advocate for creating NYC’s Rainy Day Fund; prop 5 would enshrine the failing status quo, not fix it. nydailynews.com/2026/10/21/v…
